Hi, I have a Gigabyte motherboard with an onboard Realtek HD sound card. The card is working perfectly everywhere, except for a single video format, where the voice is distorted, sounds as if it's been passed through a metal tube.

Been googling for this, but couldn't find an answer anywhere.

The movie plays fine on other systems (got Linux everywhere else), but on this one (winXP-x64-sp2) it just doesn't.

Here are some details:

MPC:
Type: KLCP WMV File
Audio: 0x000a 22050Hz mono 20Kbps [Raw Audio 0]
Video: Windows Media Video 9 400x300 29.97fps 227Kbps [Raw Video 1]

VLC:
Codec: wmas
Sample rate: 22050
Bits per sample: 16
Bitrate: 20kb/s

What is some good lossless video codec for recording gameplay?

I'm an avid gamer and I like to record my gameplay. Usually I've been using Fraps to do it, however I'm thinking of switching to Dxtory as it allows to write on multiple HDDs at once. Say I have 3 HDDs with the following write speeds: HDD1 with 50 mb/s, HDD2 with 22 mb/s and HDD3 with 45 mb/s. Combined… >>> More
